On the weekend I went along to the MRA Toy Run to Hahndorf, I've no idea about official numbers but it seems like a pretty decent turn out. I only tagged onto the pack after the start and had a quick wander around at the end, but here are some shots I took:

I passed this on the road and was on a mission to find it in the crew of bikes, I'm not too sure what it is other than an air cooled Kwak. Any ideas?

This stretched, raked, and dropped CT110 'postie' was travelling with the Kwak above. Very cool first bike!

Nothing too special here, other than the full slicks on a day with intermittent rain.

It's been years since I was thrashing around on my 20 (still have it though mostly 26" these days) but I tried enough crazy gaps, ledges and manuals, and took the requisite amount of spills to recognise the skills this guys has. TBone summed it up with his title: Mind Blowing

I was just leafing through a local bike magazine and noticed that there is now an Australian distributor for Kriega. This is great news for anyone out here looking for a motorcycle friendly back pack.

I've had my R35 for about 2 years, and I can't recommend it highly enough, even though it carried a price of around $300. This is lower now due to the local distribution and while I don't expect to ever have to replace it, I look forward to expanding my Kriega arsenal at the more reasonable prices.

I love reading stories like this: buy a brand new car, drive it home, immediately get busy with the grinder and welder! It the sort of thing that the custom pioneers like Watson, the Barris' and Starbird would do back in the day, and it's great to see the practice being kept alive.

"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." -Donald Rumsfeld

This classic example of linguistic dexterity seems to be very appropriate to some work I'm doing at the moment.
